Oh my ears and whiskers…

It’s challenge time over at PunkyouGirl and it’s an easy peasy one of ‘anything goes’ and I’ve used a great image from our sponsor, SLS Lines, called Goth Girl and Rabbit.

To make up my card I’ve followed the current sketch over at Retrosketches.  I just swapped out the butterfly element for my image and mounted my sentiment on a Tim Holtz Tattered Curvy Scroll.  I’ve kept the embellies and papers fairly toned down, one, as this is a ‘darker’ project in the PunkyouGirl style, and, two, I’m thinking this for a male card.

As I’ve got a die cut and the card would suit a male I am entering it in the current challenge at ScrapbookerPhD.  The inside of the card finishes the sentiment for a belated birthday card.  And yes, it’s supposed to be slightly cheeky with a nod toward the Playboy bunnies given her somewhat provocative pose and as it is for a male.

Now over at Open Minded Crafting they have a theme of ‘new year’s resolutions’ for their current challenge.  Mine is to be on time with my cards this year so how does a belated birthday card fit that theme?  Well, if past years are anything to go by where I’ve made similar resolutions to be on time with my crafting are anything to go by I am going to be raiding my stash for this card when I realise I’ve missed one of my male friend’s birthdays.  I’ll then be glad that I made this resolution and started off so well in having a card at the ready so I’m not quite so late!

My heart seemed full as it could hold

I’ve got a little banner to share today featuring the gorgeous A Heart for You Rio from Simply B Stamps.

And here’s a close-up of the beautiful image.

It’s a Valentine banner, but you guessed that right?  I’ve used dies from the December Club La-La Land kit as well as the idea for the banner from the included project.  I love the dies in these kits they are just awesome.

Given the theme of my banner I am entering it in the current challenge over at Creative Corner.  It is going to form part of the decorations of an office for Valentine’s Day, I’m turning the office into the “tunnel of love” in revenge for the occupant (a male manager at work) covering my desk with glitter balls for Christmas.  As a crafter I’d never inflict glitter on someone’s workspace, I’m still trying to get the glitter off so he must pay and what better way than having to work in an office decorated like the tunnel of love?!

My project is clearly not a card so I’m also entering it in current challenge at C.R.A.F.T. challenges.  Love to Scrap is running a challenge asking you to use at least one item starting with an initial of their name.  I have “L” covered with the word love, “T” for twine, “S” for sentiment and “B” for blossoms.  I almost had a clean sweep but I just couldn’t think of anything starting with “C” to add to my banner.
